受験生・保護者の方へのメッセージ

In my classes students can practice the specialized English they need to communicate with intercultural families in nursery schools, to use in International pre-schools in Japan, or overseas pre-schools. They can learn how to teach English to children, and about multicultural education around the world and in Japan. They can also prepare for our study abroad program in which they experience early childhood education in Australia. At Coffee Morning they can interact with multicultural families living in Nagasaki, and at Storyland they can take part in reading events with English-speaking families in the community.
